Last month Andy the owner of E.G.O. Hair and Beauty invited me to his salon to have a chat and meet his new colleagues. E.G.O is just off the main Plaza Almijara shown as map spot 9 on the Competa map on page 53. It had been a while since I had been in the salon and what immediately struck me was how different the place felt. The lightening, soft furnishings even the smell was different, definitely a women’s touch had uplifted the place!
Andy introduced me to his team, Katie and Jan and on talking with them further, it all began to make sense. Andy is a great hairdresser but he needed some help in organising the business and the Salon. In June of this year Jan started working at E.G.O and this has made a huge difference not only to Andy but to the business as a whole. Jan has made some subtle differences to the place that makes the Salon inviting, warm and attractive. Jan is also a hair stylist. When she first came to Spain, she had her own studio opposite the primary school in Competa but due to the working hours she decided to go mobile to allow more flexibility in her time while her daughter was young. Many years later her daughter now has her own child, so Jan has returned to hairdressing within a salon. She brings with her a client base from her mobile years but is hoping to build on that even further. She works at the salon Monday to Friday and Saturday is by appointment only and she takes all the calls and books all the appointments for the Salon. She is efficient and organised and very welcoming when you arrive offering you tea or coffee and a chat! She clearly enjoys her work and meeting people.
Together Jan and Andy have researched a new line of hair and beauty products that are now on order and they await with excitement to use them in the Salon. These new products are totally natural and organic and will be on sale too. Jan and Andy totally believe in natural and organic products and also they
realise how its important to other people too. E. G. O now stands for Everything Goes Organic. Once the new products arrive an Open evening will be organised to see the Salon, meet the team, have a drink and of course view the new range of beauty and hair products. The date will be announced on both the EGO and Grapevine Facebook page.
E.G.O also has a new beautician that provides all the usual beauty treatments from hair removal, skin analysis and consultations, facials, scalp massage and male grooming. She also does make up so E.G.O will now be offering beauty and wedding packages.
To complete the EGO team there is Katie who provides a Swedish deep relaxation massage and Nutritional Health. E.G.O has renovated its massage room and Katie creates an ambiance with low lighting, music and incense to allow the clients to simply destress and relax. The massage Katie provides is normally full bodied however, if clients express uncertainly or are uncomfortable with this, she is more than happy to perform the massage on parts of the body instead.
Along with massage she provides advice and products on nutritional health. Katie is interested in natural products you can take in order to stimulate a healthy brain, heart and immune system. She believes beauty is from within if you feel good on the inside you will feel good on the outside. The products she advises on, she takes herself, along with her family. Her mother suffers from dementia and after 3 weeks of taking a capsule she was more focused and clearer than she had ever been since her diagnosis. She was introduced to the products by a friend who had started taking a capsule a day to help with osteoporosis and was now in regression. Katie promotes her products for prevention and ease of illnesses such as fibromyalgia Arthritis as the capsules are anti-inflammatory. However, you don’t need to be ill to use these products. Katie advises on nutritional health in general and gives advice for better health, beauty and happiness, what more could you want!
E.G.O now provides it all, in a nice environment with a lovely team, if you haven’t visited for a while or never met the team it’s time to book your appointment now call
